I PRINT MY SHIPPING LABELS SHOWING THE EXACT POSTAGE I PAID!
               It's exactly what you paid ~ I do NOT make money off of shipping but I can't control postal rates.
         
      I'd ask you to be aware that eBay's "2-4 day" stated delivery estimate has been seriously 'off' lately.
       Some items have taken 4-5+ days to reach their destination after they're dropped at the Post Office.
                  The estimated delivery date provided is just that...an ESTIMATE, NOT a guarantee.   
                                                                                                         
        * PLEASE, you MUST read my listing..so YOU know what's included & what issues there may be.
             I HAVE to be able to assume that buyers are reading the info. that I'M making sure to include. 
                                                                              Thanks!

                                                                       NEW & NRFP!

                                             The item shown is the EXACT one that you'll receive 
                                     Ships in a Box ~ From a Non-smoking, Pet-free Home
                                                        All shipments include tracking          
                                                                              ~
    My apologies. Due to eBay's constantly increasing fees, I've had to "up" prices when listing some new items.
      The Promotional program has resulted in my fees "Doubling", simply so that my items are SEEN by buyers.
    Because I mainly sell "Non-essentials", sales can be sporadic and any item may take months, or YEARS, to sell. 
     This isn't my life's work but it IS a "For-profit" activity to supplement retirement income, so some profit is nice.
    
                          In recent months, I've received feedback on fewer than 25% of my sales.                        
              This is how I know that your item made it SAFELY (not just arrived) and that you're satisfied.              
         I'd also ask that you give feedback on MY performance (did I get it to the P.O. within 2 days?),
          NOT the performance of the USPS. Getting to you fast or slow once I drop it off is on THEM.

      PLEASE, if you choose to send an offer, be kind and don't offer me half the price that I'm asking.
                   I have to purchase the items I list & often have to wait months for an item to sell.

             PLEASE view all photos to help judge condition
                      See my other listings ~ Happy to combine shipping

                                                              A quick word re: Shipping. 
            Please realize that there's really no such thing as "Free Shipping".  It's either paid separately or it 
          gets figured into (and raises) the cost of the item. Don't assume that it always makes the price lower. 
                                                                  Generally, it doesn't. 

        I use eBay's "Calculated Shipping" so what you pay is just what it costs to ship to your specific area.
           Note that eBay's rates are DISCOUNTED over the regular rate if you go directly through carriers.
                                   + ALL shipments include Tracking & Insurance (unless stated).

        *  I'm unable to delay shipping your item(s) due to my eBay specified 2-day shipping time.
              Sellers have to commit to a shipping time frame and are penalized for not meeting it. Sorry.
            
                                            International Buyers: 
                  Please note that sellers have NO ability to affect either shipping fees or customs costs.
                        The shipping cost shown above is just for me to ship the item to eBay's U.S. Hub.
                        From there, eBay takes over and ships the item on to you for an additional charge.
                     
                       If you're ever overcharged for shipping at check-out, I refund the excess if over $1.
          Excess under $1 goes into my "Boxes, Bubble wrap & Tape" fund to help with packaging costs.
         Sadly, my accuracy with shipping costs means that THAT fund is continually & forever empty...Lol!      

              * Have you moved? Please be sure your shipping address is correct PRIOR to check-out.
                                         I can only ship to the address that eBay provides me.

           Returns are accepted on most items (unless noted) but items must be returned in "as received"
                   condition along with any original product box, tag and/or paperwork that came with it.
                                        Buyer is responsible for return shipping cost.
                                        
                                 * New items are returnable only if still sealed and/or un-opened.
                            Please DO NOT open the product package if you intend to seek a return.

                             BIN sales: Immediate Payment kindly requested.
               If you're buying more than one item and would like combined shipping, please use the CART...
             OR message me letting me know. If you're concerned about the items selling out from under you,
             feel free to purchase them with the original shipping and message me for a refund of the overage.
                     PLEASE be aware that items sitting in your CART haven't been purchased so that other
                                             members are still able to buy them. Don't miss out.... :)

                Auction Sales: Payment Requested within 3 days, please.
                Sales remaining unpaid after 4 days (with no message or contact) will be cancelled.

                   ~ No International Sales, except through eBay's International program ~
  
               I ship weekdays only ~ most often within 1 day of payment. 
           I do have a stated "2 day" handling time, though, since I'm old and sometimes "life happens".
            
                    Items ship from a Non-smoking, Dog-friendly* Home
          * We do not have pets ourselves at the moment but DO enjoy rare visits from our grand-dogs.
                          Items MAY, however, have some past exposure to smokers and/or pets.
             As non-smokers, though, we try to avoid purchasing items with smoke or other bad smells.
